" An] anecdote-filled memoir . . . Rebecca Eaton looks back on 25
fascinating years at Masterpiece Theatre and Mystery " --"USA
Today"
When Rebecca Eaton became the producer of" Masterpiece Theatre" in
1985, she hadn't actually seen many of the episodes. Nor did she
even like mystery novels, though she would be required to choose
stories for "Mystery " But the lifelong Anglophile seized her
chance to make a mark in the budding public television system.
Twenty-eight years later, "Masterpiece "is one of television's
hottest shows, and Eaton is responsible for its triumphant
transition from the "quill-pen" era into the digital age.
Filled with anecdotes about (and the occasional interview with)
the unforgettable hosts, the inspired creators, and the many
talented actors she's worked with over the years, "Making
Masterpiece "is a compulsively readable treat for any fan of these
beloved and iconic programs.
